Think Good

It's a good morning to have a good morning.

*side note- I am a morning person.

It was a wonderful weekend.

I had my girlfriend Ang here for a few days.

(she recently lost her Dad 💔)

I am getting ready to start on Module 4 of my course today.

I reached out to a MO course mate,

( a total stranger...awkward)

 and planned a connection via Zoom 

( also awkward as I will need to learn how to initiate the meeting)

to meet this Wednesday.

I was invited to go with a friend and her Mom to their church yesterday

to watch the MSU Choral perform.

It was so beautiful we had tears dripping.

It couldn't be helped ( I tried..).

The lumps in my throat were about to explode.

Powerful. That's all I have to stay.

Hubby and I went out to the farm for chores.

He made his rounds...

and I walked the pasture and played with my Buddy boy.

We did turn the herd out into a new pasture,

  I was curious to see

if he'd pick (what's left of) the grass

or me.

Guess what he picked.

Mmm...hmmm....

 he still loves his human Mama.

I finished Module 3 last night. 

and my big take away is this:

believe in yourself

have fun

don't let any one influence you from your path.

Do one little right thing each day to work towards

your dreams.

My biggest hurdle has always been to believe in myself, (truly believe)

and to stop being influenced by....well...influencers.

It takes a great deal of believing in yourself,

(and in my case, God too)

to dodge the bullets of negativity, doubt, skepticism,

cynicism, fear, insecurities and all the distractions today

and be courageous enough to stay true to yourself.

My biggest tool in the last few years

 is to be more mindful of my thoughts.

(always a work in process)

We can choose what we want to think.

We can use our mental energy positively. 

We can empower the good or empower the bad,

the choice is ours. 

What we empower grows bigger.

Our choices are just a bunch of little habits we can change.

Remember habits take time to change, but it is totally doable.

We can't control much else, but we do have that power,

and it makes life so much more joyful.
